make any map waterproof
I know maps aren't considered too cool these days but I have found a brilliant way to avoid your map becoming a crumpled ball through overuse and then going all soggy when it rains.
You can photocopy it onto waterproof inkjet paper, I use it for surveying work and it can get proper soaked and still hold its own. Its thick enough to print on both sides too. I got most of Marocco on 8 sides (4 sheets). I can then keep the original map safely stashed for emergencies/planning whilst I use the smaller, easier to use and fold sheets in my tank bag.
It's quite expensive stuff, I got 50 sheets for about £20 a few years back, but it saves buying a new map and is so much easier to work with.
Finally, I done something useful!
